“He clearly understood the same sort of behaviors that we see in dogs.” How neat is that? He clearly was able to observe the way the humans and dogs interacted and picked up on how he could fit in.
Understanding how to fit in with the other dogs was likely something he had learned from his mother at birth. Wolves are raised in families that fall under the pack mentality, meaning they realize the importance of family and friends. This is understood as a means and a way to survive in the wild.
Being alone and rendered defenseless in the wild is never a good scenario. So, making good friends at the dog park was probably something that Romeo knew he had to do immediately in order to survive. Otherwise, anything could’ve happened to him in that unfamiliar territory.

It is highly irresponsible to contribute to the romanticized illusion that wolves and dogs are natural friends. This an exception, not the rule.

I was on a cruise in Alaska a couple of years ago. When we stopped in Juneau, I bought this wonderful book. Rich in history and love of animals we share earth with.
